Q: where can i buy humalog insulin?

A: just about any pharmacy

Q: How to buy Insulin in London?
I’m a type 1 diabetic and I’ve just arrived in London. I have to buy Insulin, but they won’t accept the prescription from my doctor in Brazil. I tried to go to the doctor and get a new prescription, but they want to charge me £200 for a simple consult. What to do? I use Lantus and Humalog.

A: I am afraid these are both prescription only medications and GPs in London are much more switched on to treating foreign nationals privately than they are in the provinces. Unless you strike lucky with a sympathetic GP you will just have to cough up.

Q: How can I use humalog insulin with NPH ?
Congratulation for diabetes day.
I use humalog as bolous and glargin-Lantus as basal.but now I have no more lantus but have still humalog for 1 year. since I can not afford to buy Lantus anymore due to high price.is it possible I use humalog with NPHinsulin which is cheaper.please dont reffer me to doctors .they are not available .thanks
Now I use 27 unit lantus at bed time and 8 to 10 unit humalog before each meal.But I have no lantus anymore in few days time.

A: Yes you can, humalog should be used 10-15mins before each meal, I dont know know what dosage you should be on though and then you should check you blood sugar after eating and then do a sliding scale injection with humalog if sugar is above 200. And just use your NPH like you always do. You just have to use NPH more often then lantus, I think in the morning and evening, because lantus lasts 24hours and NPH doesn’t last that long. I dont know what dose you should be using though.

Im not sure what the conversion would be. Might want to start out with 20 units of NPH in morning and evening and watch for hypoglycemia and increase the dosage as you need too.

Q: Levemir Insulin – long acting – does it bother your eyes?
I am on two insulins – Levemir for long acting all day – 40 units and Humalog before each meal on a sliding scale depending on my blood sugar. Has anyone had any side effects from the Levemir bothering your eyes – mine are blurry lately at night mostly, but….. I also just bought a flat screen monitor and I also just began taking a sleep aid. Anyone heard of these problems?

A: The insulin should improve your eyesight, if it has any effect at all.

Diabetes will cause all sorts of eyesight problems. By getting your blood sugars under control, your eyesight should improve.

I think you may be having problems with the sleep aid, but you need to check with your doctor.

Q: I am not so rich to throw away a vial of lantus or humalog after 28 days?
As a case of IDDM i use 600 unit of humalog and 750 unit of lantus insulin per month .according to the datas lantus and humalog should not be used after 28 days from unpacking. I bought a bvial of humalog Euro 36.86 and lantus Euro 50.00. I can not afford after 28 days of usage throw away my insulin.the manufacturer must make them in a way that they would be valid for min. 2 month.

ANYHOW DO LANTUS AN HUMALOG WORK EXACTLY 28 DAYS NOT MORE. IS THERE A WAY FOR THE PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO CANT AFFORD ?

A: I am also Type 1 diabetic and have been in a situation where I can not afford to throw the medicine away. Here is what I recommend.

Lantus – keep it refrigerated. By leaving it out it tends to spoil quickly. I have successfully used and not had a problem for 2 months.

Humalog – I have also used it for more than 28 days. Since you need to have humalog at room temp for use it is harder to keep it refrigerated.

Keep in mind the 28 days is recommended. However, you usually have at least a month more. If you are going past the recommended days watch your blood glucose levels. If you notice it takes more insulin to do the job or it is not working throw it out.

Since you mention finances and diabetes is a rich man disease – talk to your doctor and see if you can get samples that the drug companies provide (Not sure if they do this in the UK however they do in the US) or see if there is a program where you can get free medicine from the manufacturers (another program in the US).

Good luck.
